We start the show by learning about a contingent of Vermonters who are headed off to Italy for the World Sky Running Championships. Next, we speak with two St. Michael’s College professors who are researching whether virtual reality can help reduce stress. Following that, national correspondent Bob Ney checks in with an update. Then, we hear from Jordan Adams of Seven Days about Burlington’s Sky Tunnels. And we’ll finish the show by talking with Alex Crothers of Higher Ground about how that music venue is bouncing back from the pandemic year.
